Sleep

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Well, AFAIK it's for processing of impressions. When I'm programming or do research, I sleep a lot. More than once I had perfect solutions for problems in the early morning. The unconcious brain has the most processing power and AFAIK it's being used most when asleep.

You underestimate the mind of an animal. Also an animal has lots to process. Mind you, AFAIK processing visual 'data' takes the most of the mind.

Animals DO dream.

Well, I saw a dog walking in his dream (while lying)
And Seems to me like dreaming too

My knowledge of dreaming is too small to discuss this furthermore.

I think I want myself also a pet. Though, not sure whether I can afford/have one.

Well, you don't need any particular "knowledge" to think about things like this. It's more interesting to talk about how you see things than what may or may not be fact.

Hm, but maybe I should rather have said, I lack inspiration gained from knowledge to go deeper into this stuff.

Cost doesn't need to be a big problem if you get a smaller pet. Rats are very entertaining, very people-oriented and very affectionate. Dogs can be expensive, but are very rewarding. I think you would enjoy a pet. They are much easier to relate to than people as there are no hidden agenda or ulterior motives.

A rat, hm, never thought about that :-)
I've had guinea pigs once, but they were not much affectionate....
